Dear Christine, thanks for the report! The responses you sent sound very familiar, especially the last one "Next time let's do Open Space all day!" And the way the concern about possibly dominating players evaporates also sounds familiar.
You may have heard about our initiative (Jo Toepfer, Hans-Georg Wicke and me) to have an international gathering on the InterActive/open space-organization. Thirty people from all over have shown interest. I would love to also invite the person who said "I love Open Space - my organization uses it all the time and it is transforming our work!" I will send you the invitation in a separate mail. Could you forward it?
